Magoodhoo island

Magoodhoo is a local island in Faafu atoll, Maldives. It has small Bikini beach, as well as a great sandbank a little further away. There are a lot of trash ashore, as well as in the coastal water, but it's quite typical for the local islands. Anyway the island is big and green with all of its west end being dedicated to tourists. So, is a theory, it is possible not to take expensive tours on the surroundings. Shore and seabed: sand, stones. [edit]
